FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTES Software Release Notes for WA6102X-2-FLF-32 and OAP6626A-FLF-32

INTRODUCTION: MIPS based 802.11a/g Dual Band Wireless Access Point is an access point that provides transparent, wireless high speed data communications between the wired LAN (and/or within the wireless network) and fixed, portable or mobile devices equipped with an 802.11a/g wireless adapter employing the same radio modulation. This solution offers fast, secure and reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings over wired LANs (which include long-term maintenance overhead for cabling). Using this new 802.11a/g technology, the Wireless Access Point can easily replace a 10Mbps Ethernet connection or seamlessly integrate into a newer 10/100 Ethernet LAN. FIRMWARE SPECIFICATION: Status Current Version Version No. 2.2.33 2.2.32 Release Date 11/8/2010 1/27/2010 History Fix a bug that 11g-only client can connect to 11b-only mode AP Support AP Trap Monitor Task and support enable/disable setup through backdoor command. And, enable it as default. - Startup Trap Monitor command: 1403 - Stop Trap Monitor command: 1404 Change Software Watchdog task priority to 1 Support backdoor command to monitor Ethernet Mii error reset counter. And, to dump error message to console when mii error is occurred. Dump Ethernet MII error count command: 1405 Remove some Throughput Improve patches from l2.c, ds.c and wdsLinkEnd.c Support Proxy ARP function for WLAN client only Merge Ethernet lock patches Generate new group key when a SSID is st associated with 1 station. This is a temporary pacth to fix Intel2200bg and Broadcom 11a/b/g wlan station WPA2 WPK connection bug after AP has powered up for more than 1 day around. Fix the FTP server bug (EPR 99) Formal release for 3COM with changes made in v2.2.27r1

CHANGE AND SOLVED ISSUES FOR V.2.1.13_SH :

NOTE ISSUES FOR V.2.1.13_sh : EPR_ID Headline

If we configure the SNMP server by SNMP rmon trapDestTable, the AP will reboot continuously until we reset the configuration to factory default. We can recover the reboot by (1) in v2.1.12 release, we should push the reset button for more than 5 seconds, the application code will clear the configuration. (2) In v2.1.13 release, we should push the reset button for more than 20 seconds in application code or bootshim period. Both of them can clear the configuration. (3) This bug had been fixed in v2.1.13b04. If we configure the SNMP server by WEB with host name, the AP will reboot continuously until we reset the configuration to factory default. We can recover the reboot by (4) in v2.1.12 release, we should push the reset button for more than 5 seconds, the application code will clear the configuration.
